A powered Hub is a separate ~$20 component that you plug into one of your USB 
ports, that also has an external power supply to give it more current capacity. 
The 2x2, 4x4 MIDIPorts draw just a bit too much current for a standard USB port.

Check your local computer store. They'll know exactly what a Powered USB Hub is.

  They say that unit doesn't have one that comes with it.

    Hello:
    You definitely need a powered usb hub with that device.  Even without using 
all the usb ports it is necessary.

          Hi: I use a midisport 4 in 4 out with Sonar, sometimes, when I boot 
up the usb device isn't functioning. I recall someone on this list talking 
about the purchase of some type of power unit to assist these devices. (1) is 
there such an animal? (2) is it possible that the unit is starting to go? (3) 
could it be something with the usb ports on the computer, although I used all 
of them? Thanks in advance.  ----- Original Message -----

by other audio editors


        Sarah, yes, Oh that the Olympus did what the H1, h2, h4 and h4n 
recorders do.  All their marks are seen by other recording software.  So too 
with the Sony PCM-D50.  This is one thing that Olympus does that makes you 
think that they still largely think about it as a dictation and transcription 
technology where internal marks would help you get to parts of the dictation.  
I don't know what it would take to have these recorders drop real marks, but 
the ones I have seen do not.

          Hi, a while back someone said the following.  " 
          You can drop marks while playing and/or recording, and, in wave 
anyway, editors like SoundForge and others will recognize them as such."

          Oh, how I wish this were true, but it is not.  These marks are only 
internal to the Olympus units and thus can only be gotten to while using the 
recorders.
